Cash4Shoes

General information

Cash4Shoes is a new programme that provides local businesses, charities, schools and nurseries with the opportunity to:

* reduce the impact on UK’s landfill sites
* support numerous individuals in developing countries overseas
* raise money for a purpose of their own choosing!

Cash4Shoes was put in place by European Textiles Recycling, in order to encourage and educate all generations about the importance of recycling our unwanted footwear and clothing and how this can help to reduce the impact that waste is having on our planet!

The footwear that we collect are all exported to Africa and Eastern Europe and is worn by those who are in most desperate need of them.
In exchange for the footwear donated, our company will pay £500 per tonne, 50p per kg.

What can I spend it on?
* Charity: use the scheme to raise money for a charity that is personal to you!
* Reinvest: Raise money to reinvest in something for your business, school or nursery!
* Incentive: offer the money that you raise as an incentive or a prize to staff!

The choice is yours!

The programme is free to join, easy to run and can be explained in 4 simple steps:

1. We will provide you with a shoe container free of charge, which can be placed in any hallway, reception area, or foyer.

2. Parents, visitors, staff, and children can then bring in their unwanted, reusable, and paired footwear to put into the container.

3. Once the container is full, we will arrange a collection or delivery time and day to suit you, where the footwear are taken back to our head office and weighed;

4. Get paid for the amount collected!

We would be more than happy to provide you with any help that you might require in order to promote Cash4Clothes around your establishment.
